Bachelorette winner Lee headed back to reality TV

WHEN it comes to reality TV, Lee Elliot proved long ago how strong of a competitor he can be after he stole the heart of Georgia Love on the last season of The Bachelorette.

And, if you were missing your weekly TV fix of the Melbourne tradie, you're in for a treat as it was today announced the heart-throb is heading to this season of The Block.

A spokeswoman confirmed to news.com.au that Lee will make a brief appearance on the hit renovation show, returning to his tradie roots as a plumber to help the contestants meet their near-impossible deadlines.
